Sure, there are cheaper and more efficient ways to do this... but... pfft... The idea is to stuff it with some compost and seeds and then throw it somewhere that you think could use some color, but you either can't get to it or it's where people wouldn't appreciate seeing you digging around. Then wait for mother nature to dissolve the shell and make some magic.

However, I'm going to test it anyway (did I mention I'm an idiot and you shouldn't do this?). Unfortunately it's not the best time of the year to try it, but I loaded one and sat it in a pot outside. I also sat one in a pot indoors that I'll run some water over whenever I water my other plants to see how it dissolves naturally over time and if anything grows out of it. I also threw some of the seeds into another pot just in case these old seeds are no good and to compare the growth. SCIENCE!

Alternatively, you could print this in something other than PVA and just use it like a little box to store things in...

Instructions

You can easily edit the openscad script to make a super sized version that is twice as big if you want to like, plant a tree or something.

Love it! I plan to make a dozen and fill them with lovely mixed seeds and give them as Christmas gifts. I only have ABS but the bomb becomes a keepsake or re-usable ammo case for the F-ammo ;)
Any chance you could make one so the base is the same diameter as the body and the symbol is completely sunk in? I have some clear tubing with caps that I want to fit 3 bombs in and have a nice clean look. I plan to do a multipack.
Great job! very clever

Still tweaking the .15 layer height settings. I've printed a few of these now not for the flowering possibilities but mainly just for the comedic value and detail. In my pic you can see the failed spotty/blobby print and then the currently best print. Thanks for this file, it's a great one to test the detail possibilities of my ToM.

Jeeez.... Clouds, stuff and a self proclaimed Idgit. Oh well. I'm gonna expand on your single good idea into two ideas.

I've got crows. They are noisy. ugly, obnoxious and scare all the little critters away. I'm gonna git my bot back together. Get some PVA (where?), print some bombs and then fill with soil and cool plant seeds. Then, with a new (hmmm printed?) sling shot I'm goin huntin crow! And if I don't hit'em
I'll at the least satisfy my distaste for crow and I'll be planting good will around the neighborhood. ;-) lol....
